- 'Sup man!
(ch, ch, ch, ch, ch)
What's your problem man?
(white noise)
- Wing Chun kicking techniques, and exercise.
Now in Wing Chun, obviously we're known to have our
bongs, our times of and a strick blocks
and all these hand techniques and strikes.
Wing Chung has kicks too
but its a little bit different from
kick boxing or Taekwondo, or different things,
it's more a say set up, not so much as a finish blow,
although you could with practice
to have devastating powers.
So I'm, today I'm going to show you a few kicks in Wing Chun
and how that also combine with hands
and what you need to do.
(upbeat music)
So I have Jack here joining me and also Desmond here.
Now, Wing Chun usually, we go with the low line.
So we don't try to kick very high although sometimes
you see people doing sticky hand, right?
Sometimes they're doing the sticky hand like that, right,
and they could do something like kick,
right where it's small like that kind of kick
but for now I want to show you just low kicks.
So very simple the first kick we're gonna do
is a simple straight kick.
So you can see like that, you use this part of your foot.
Okay, this part of your foot
and it's not a flick,
'cause sometimes a lot of reaching guys
they do these flicking stuff.
It's never a flick, it's always a storm.
We're trying to break the knee, right,
and then always the pressure is going forward,
so I'm not doing,
I'm not doing that, okay?
What I'm doing is I go forward (sh) and I penetrate.
You see the forward pressure, right?
It's that kind of technique.
So, there is simple technique just like that.
It almost like imagine your weight is falling on the guy.
So imagine your falling on the guy, right?
All the forward energy.
Okay, you guys want to try?
That's what's called a little bit of Taekwondo experience
so this is a new kick for him
but you can see.
So just do the kick, do it slow.
Yeah, and make sure you bend your knee
for the partner, so you don't break anything.
Yep, just practice the technique slow.
Nice and slow.
Yeah.
Yeah, almost lean towards him.
Yes, and bend, bend your knee, yeah?
Now, see now, when he missed that,
see that?
When he missed, so make sure your hand
if you miss, this stuff is all there, right?
This stuff is all there.
This stuff is all there, right?
Give a little bit more distance,
a little more distance.
Yes, one more time.
Good.
So, the fun kick, now,
another way you can do it is kind of a side kick
but not the Taekwondo side kick,
and not even the JKD sidekick.
Wing Chun very very sneaky, right?
So this of course, your gonna hit the groin.
Obviously with with a front kick, right,
but also the side kick.
Now the side kick is not, you don't turn as much,
you can see that in either wooden dummy form, right?
It's more, this.
So it's more, see, again storm.
So if I'm here, this my foot, it would be like that
and I'm not kicking here
because you notice this thigh is so strong,
it's not easy to break
but if here, watch.
See that?
Big strong guy, I'm just using my hand
but if I kick the side, right?
Suddenly, its a lot stronger.
You've got to be very careful when you train.
So if I'm here, so either front or the side.
Accuracy is everything, try that.
Do it slow.
- [Desmond] Front.
- [Dan] Front, side, yeah.
You can feel the pressure, right Jack?
- [Jack] Yes.
- [Dan] Yeah, don't do it, do it slow, do it slow.
Yeah, not the edge of your foot,
still the heel.
Almost imagine there is a,
like a bamboo stick in front of you,
your gonna try to stomp it and try to break it.
Try to break it.
- I'll pull back.
- So front kick, side.
Front kick, side, right?
Now what is very interesting is once you get that going
you stop practicing, then you start combine it
with little bit of movement.
So, I don't just kick here and I kick here, right,
because that's well its okay, but watch this.
So I can kick here, right, also I can kick here.
I can also kick here again.
So its very very sneaky.
So you could have like two, like two trees
or two bamboo stick, whatever in front of you
and you learn, so you imagine on these two legs.
I'm trying to destroy it, right?
As I'm trying to destroyed it, I'm try destroyed it,
I try destroyed it.
So as a partner, just practice.
You see that?
See that?
I'm not hurting him
but I'm, see the rhythm?
Alright, try that.
Ah, maintain your balance, maintain your balance.
Bo, bo, bo, right, bo, bo,
from here bo.
You move, bo, from here, from here, from here
your doing your thing.
That's why its so hard
because kicking and punching in Wing Chun,
we do it simultaneously, not necessary I kick
and then I punch, then I kick, then I punch.
Its not like that, it's this is going, this is going,
this is going, this is going all at the same time.
Feet, hand, same time
and it's more difficult when you try to do it slow.
Its a lot more difficult to flow with it,
to flow with it,
to flow with it.
Yes.
Now one great exercise that you can do,
I want both of you to try.
Just face the camera.
Simple, but not easy.
Just lift one foot up and just do this.
That's a great exercise, right there.
Just do a hand and just do your hand, do the hand
and you got to try to find the balance, just do your hand.
So try that.
See, right?
Right, that's a great exercise.
Just stand right there and then change foot.
Oh, try that.
Yeah, just like that.
From here, so you learn to have your hand movement
at a same time as this.
Right, at same time as this, right?
You see that?
Yeah, not easy, right?
'Caus everybody thinking a one, two,
one, two, one, two, one, two.
No, it's like a bullet.
(da, da, da, da, da)
(da, da, da, da)
So, as this is going on, right?
I'm practicing with Jack, so as this is going
and Wing Chun, we also learn to practice,
that's why the wooden dummy you have the long leg.
We learn to practice, don't look at people's foot
because see, if I look at a foot, oh, right?
Look at me.
I was gonna kick me.
I'm gonna kick him, I'm gonna kick.
No, we look at you, right?
We look at you, so we practice slow.
See how (mumbles) here?
- [Desmond] Yep.
- [Dan] Very slow, very slow
and I just learn to move my movement, right?
From here, from here, from here, from here
but this is pointing.
This is my gun, right?
This is pointing at you, right?
And then, you can also (Ch).
You might think it's here,
but it can change from here (ch), to that, right?
But really it's a set up, we don't try to push away.
So, do a fight kick to me.
Boom, right?
And see, high boxing very clear, right?
Do a fight kick again.
Bam, right?
I'm fly away.
Wing Chun we don't want to do that
because I got to chase the guy.
I don't want to chase so notice a difference when I kick.
So, I'm not trying to push the guy,
it's a kick to destroy the organs.
So I'm not pushing him, it's a boom, kick this.
So he stays and I go in.
So if I'm here maybe I could also do that.
See how this gives a reaction, he's gonna hit me
but actually it's this, right?
So this, and also sometimes with this,
(ch).
He's thinking I'm gonna trade punches (ch).
See, that's something they don't expect.
So that's how you practice, incorporate some
of the kicking and punching
and Wing Chun techniques together.
That's my Wing Chun kicking technique and exercise.
Practice well, practice safe.
